RuneScape:Administrative requests

Administrator requests

If you are reporting vandalism in progress, use this page.

What this page is for

• Protecting/unprotecting pages.
  Highly visible pages or content that may have links from outside websites are encouraged to have some level of protection. This can also include a request for administrators to try and calm down an edit war. This should be done according to the RuneScape:Protection policy.
• Moving/renaming protected pages and files.
  Due to vandals' mis-use of the page move tool, some pages are protected from being renamed except by an administrator. If you can make a compelling case for a page move, or consensus has been reached on the respective discussion page related to the page you think needs to be renamed, formal requests for the page move can happen here. New contributors to this wiki or "anonymous" users wishing to rename a page that don't have the page move option available to them yet are also welcome to make such requests on this page.
• Minor edits to protected pages.
  This is mostly on protected templates that can have a substantial impact on the whole wiki if they are changed, so caution is urged when they are modified.
• Announcements that are intended to be across the whole wiki.
  This appears on MediaWiki:Sitenotice, and should be something that would be of interest to the whole community.
• Importing pages from another wiki.
  While seldom used for content on this wiki, this is an option that is available for bringing in content from another wiki and preserving its edit history, which requires administrator rights. This may involve some special actions on the part of Wikia Central to open this option between two MediaWiki projects, so be patient if you wish to make this sort of request. MediaWiki importing tools can sometimes be buggy, so be gentle on volunteer administrators doing this task.
• Hiding revisions and/or edit summaries.
  In the case of blatant copyright violations, significantly offensive material, identity establishing information, or any other content that poses a major risk to the wiki or its editors, the revision(s) may be hidden using Special:RevisionDelete.
• General questions to the administrators of this wiki.
  You might get a faster reply by posting on the User help page; however, the administrators here will try to help you to the best of their abilities.

What this page is not for

• Problems that do not require administrator tools to complete.
  Instead, please visit the user help page.
• Problem users who may be vandalising content pages.
  Instead, please note the user that may be causing problems on the RuneScape:Counter-Vandalism Unit page.
• Requests to become an administrator.
  If you are interested in learning what an administrator does or how you can become one, please visit RuneScape:Administrators for information about administrators and RuneScape:Requests for adminship for the process to become an administrator.
• General discussions about administrator behaviour.
  Most policy discussions, including policies that govern administrators, ought to be started on the Yew Grove and kept to that forum for input from the larger RS wiki community.
• Minor requests for deletion.
  If you've accidentally duplicated content or wish to just clean up a mess you've made on the wiki, you should simply tag the page with {{D|Reason(s) for nomination}}.

Note: Please only make requests on this page that specifically require sysop tools to fulfill.

Header /navbar

I am wondering how you edit it and stuff. because I heard in the yew grove it has a 4 column and 7 row limit. Maybe I could figure out how to increase this. I am not saying im going to but i mean maybe I can help do it if the idea in the yewgrove for the calculators navigation link in the navbar can be placed properly. But as I said someone said there is a limit and its not possible in a comment... I am a handy scripter / template editor. Just need to see what im dealing with. I am sorry if this is sounding in a wrong way. But I am not good at explaining thing. Thanks.

PS: As i said its only for the yewgrove topic to clarify if its possible to make this suggestion work in the yewgrove... User:Coaster4321/Sig 19:07, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

It's at MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation, see w:c:help:Help:Wiki navigation. Evil1888 ^{Talk A's L} 19:11, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Is there a .js section and css for the styles of it that may be accessable by admins?User:Coaster4321/Sig 19:18, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js which apply to all page and all skins. Evil1888 ^{Talk A's L} 19:21, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Common's CSS applies to everything other than the Wikia skin. This is because people were incorrectly using it for just Monaco on the majority of Wikia Wiki's before the beta. Common's JS works for all since some browsers have issues calling the skin specific JS. As I commented in the thread, an additional asterisk to the subnavs will allow for unlimited links, however I suggest against this. We don't want to overload the header with copious links that no one will ever use like the Monaco-sidebar was. Not only that, but more JS isn't helping the site speed when over 30% of the Wikia skin is run by JS to begin with... Scripts that we can't edit... Ryan PM 21:51, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Category:Block appeals

I'm going to ask that every administrator adds the above category to his or her watchlist, so that when someone appeals a block we are immediately notified. To do so, simply click the "Follow" link at the bottom of the page, or click here. If you have watched the page, please post something below so that once most active administrators have done this, I can remove this message. Thank you, --Liquid^Talk 01:21, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

I've never had a category in a watchlist before. Will it be highlighted when something gets added to it, then? --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 01:29, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Gareth tells me it will; I'll take his word for it. --Liquid^Talk 01:33, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Cool. Watched. --Andorin (Talk) (Contribs) 01:45, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Done. --Aburnett ^(Talk) 01:59, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it does anything in regards to Special:RecentChanges or Special:Watchlist, but if you use email notifications like I do you get something similar to:

Dear Gaz Lloyd,

A page has been added to a category you are following, Speedy deletion
candidates, on RuneScape Wiki.

See "http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Liquid_helm_is_a_big_fat_noob." for
the new page.

Thanks for being a part of RuneScape Wiki community and helping to
improve the wiki!
